Read Me Lumparsky Type 1 Font  
  
Here's another free display font I created  
with AltsysÕ Fontographer 3.1 that I hope someone can use. ItÕs an  
ATM-compatible font that I named ÒLumparskyÓ in honor of my six-year-old  
daughter Emily (I sometimes torment her with the nickname Lumparsky).  
Lumparsky is an unusual bold forties-style hand-lettering typeface based  
on a partial font I found in an old lettering manual. This version has  
over a hundred kerning pairs and a little dingbat of ÒLumparskyÓ at  
shift-option-tilde (~) doing what she does when I call her that name.  
I don't recommend using Lumparsky with a 300-dpi printer at any size  
smaller than 14 points, and even that may be pushing it. I think it looks  
best between 24 and 60 points for informal flyers and ads. The capitals  
also make nice drop caps with body texts of fussy serif fonts like Stempel  
Schneidler, Novarese, or Weiss. ThereÕs only, as with my other fonts, a  
24-point screen font included, since I assume you use Adobe Type Manager.  
As always, this font is free. Users groups are welcome to distribute it as  
long as everything in the Lumparsky folder is kept together, but anyone  
else who sells freeware/shareware disks and distributes it must also send  
me free copies of any disks (floppy, CD ROM, etc.) it appears on. I'd also  
appreciate hearing comments from anyone who likes or dislikes my fonts.  
Thanks!
